Doing my Bank closure list, found via DexNav on ORAS. The spot pattern makes it look like a bow or flower on her head - it’s so cute! Has hidden ability Contrary as well. Captured like 30 non-shiny Spinda just in case lol.

Time for A-Rattata on USUM! Good luck to everyone with their hunts and goals for end of Bank service.

What should I know before starting this hunt?, I heard there is a chance your game is shiny lock if your OT number matches the Ash OT

Do you know what OT is that?
I already know the basic thing as Pikachu being the same sprite and having to check the status screen for the star
Tips?

I started this hunt on May of last year and it’s been around 4 years since I’ve got a shiny on this Leaf Green cartridge, I was literally shouting “yes!” over and over, it’s been so long since I’ve obtained a full odds shiny. I’m probably gonna EV train this thing and get to thinking on what Leafgreen hunt I want to do next. Also, not sure what I want to name this Pinsir so I’m down for suggestions.

I don't know what my cracked luck is right now, but this is insane! I want to hunt everything I can before Bank shuts down and figured I'd hunt Spinda since I kinda suck at the Ultra Warp Ride and I don't want to forget it. And somehow I managed this after only calling in 36 Spinda!

I posted earlier this week that the hunt was doing my head in, and thankfully it's all over now.

Thank you everyone for your support and words of encouragement, I definitely didn't miss the colour change!

That ended up being about 80 hours of resets since the start of June to get there, so this one is probably sitting somewhere around double odds.

For the story, I do check everyday the swarm available in my heartgold copy hoping for Mawile but today I thought it would be fun to try Relicanth as a side hunt from my main current hunt, roaming beasts… 😅
And what a BEAUTIFUL idea I had to try for this one today so so happy with that superb teal shiny 🩵🤩

So after Treecko only took me an incredible 160 SRs, Mudkip tortured me a bit with 13108 SRs (had 6 shiny Poochyena within those 13k ....) and Torchic was feeling rather generous again with sweet 5540 SRs!

All in all pretty solid I'd say!

I wasn’t expecting getting this thing in 3 minutes, but the hunt for every ultra wormhole shiny continues!

Keep grinding my friends, it was faster than expected, I started the hunt some days ago with the Bank closing news, if you are in doubt about starting this hunt, totally worth it now that I got it

Now I’ll try to hunt for partner cap Pikachu in USUM

Any advice?

completely by random chance going through union cave.

3ds was almost new when I started this 😂😂

I have been inspired by other posts, so I'm going to do a shiny nuzlock in Ultra sun before bank shuts down. I am going to be using RNG, but I want to be successful in my run, and I do not have much free time.

Update: I got it at 1,083 but I misplaced my masterball and lost it....

Sooo I'm hunting VC Celebi and I'm curious if this hunt is a normal for the other hunts like Poipole time wise due to having to wait through the text and encounter which takes about 18 seconds. I know I am nooooo where near odds (I'm only at 1,020) and counting, resetting while typing this lol)

I've gone and done other shinies but they were easy "walk into, check, restart" please tell me Celebi is the worst encounter time wise to #beatthebank 🙃

Edit for updated count

Matt Damon, eat your heart out!

After 19 months of darkness, a blue light shined in my eternal tunnel (and for the Rambo enthusiasts: Yes, it did turn blue.).
I had given up, I begged for help, wisdom and mental support on Reddit several times, I even initiated multiple experiments to figure out if and where I had made a mistake, but thanks to your support, I kept on trying.
I put this game away so many times, filled a Living Dex in PLZA, cosplayed as DeltaAsh in Insurgence (including shiny DeltaNoctowl), Team Sky in Uranium and Cynthia in TooManyTypes, and conquered both BDSP playthroughs, including both shiny Box Legends and 5/6 of two Lake Trios, but I always came back to finally claim this stubborn behemoth.
And apparently, the prospect of being overtaken by the second roaming Mesprit was the hair that broke Regigigas' back, and today at 4pm, it showed mercy and released me from my hell.

Now, with a clean conscience, I can finally start those Dynamax Adventures everyone is talking about!

...oh, and I leave the choice of nickname in your hands, the three options manifested themselves a long while ago.
